After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.

As the title indicates: After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.
The text conversations are still there; you can see that I used to be able to text anyone. But now I cannot.
I have followed several different fixes suggested in these forums, I have Restored my phone, I have Reset Network Settings, I have Reset All Settings, I have checked settings on several friend's phones. But I still cannot send or receive texts that are not iMessage texts.
This seems like a pretty big deal. People text more than they call. And I now have a phone that cannot text very many people.
It is so frustrating. I have spent so much time trying to get it to work.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

After upgrading to ios7 i can no longer send pictures via whatsapp?

after i upgrading to ios7 i am no longer able to send media via whatsapp, is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

I did what I have been doing all along. I didn't have any problems until just recently. I went to camera roll, clicked on email photo, entered the address and sent. This has worked in the past but is not working now. I can send emails but I can't send photos. I have been having trouble on my computer with mobileme and not sure if this has anything to do with my sending photos on my iphone.
Thanks for responding and any help you can give. I will take a look at page 122 of the iphone ios4 guide.

Can no longer send pictures in text that I once did. "Unsupported file type"

The other day my phone began saying I could not longer send pictures in MMS. Pictures I sent the previous week are now an unsupport file type. They are .jpg and .pngs. I have to take a screenshot of them all now, crop out the excess stuff, and then send them.

Taking a screenshot or cropping will tell nothing .mov or .wmv format for example looks the same, one is supported by Apple QuickTime the other with Microsoft Windows Media Player, it's all in the codec. What is the exact file type? Or in what format were they saved and with what?

TS2755 After updating to IOS 7.0.6 I can no longer send or receive text images!!! I have tried everything I could find. It is driving me crazy I need to send images for work! I am using a 4S, had NO PROBLEMS until I upgraded the software!!!!

I have tried everything I could locate. I am using a 4S and had not a problem prior to updating the software!!! I need to text images alot due to my job. I am going crazy!!!! Any suggestions????

SMS is a carrier feature, what did your phone carrier say when you contacted them about your issue?
Double check you have MMS turn on in message settings.

I can no longer send or receive text messages on my iphone 3g.

Any suggestions? I have version 4.2.1 installed.

Try a hard reset, hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let the buttons go.

Can no longer send or receive text messages

Hi, I'm new to this but here i go. I have a 3GS Iphone that has the latest update. Recently the plan i had was a family plan and just a few days ago i split the two phones that was on my plan to be two separate plans (accounts). The other phone that was on my plan texts and receives texts perfectly, but as for my phone i cannot. I compose the text and send it but it never reaches the person. Also people call me asking why i am not texting them back so that means i cant receive texts either. I restored my phone twice already, one i restored it as my original phone then as a brand new phone and i still cannot receive or send texts. I havent gone to an apple store yet because they are closed right now but if someone knows how to fix this please let me know. Thank you, i appreciate it.

Hi,
Initially it sounds like a setting with your carrier and the plan the iphone is on is not enabled for text messages by your carrier.
With the phone in a 'new' state and not working again indicates that it is probably a carrier issue.
Questions for you;
1. Was the iphone being used before the plan changed and was it sending and receiving texts fine then?
2. Did you receive a new SIM car for one or both of the phones when the plans changed?
3. If you swap the SIMs between the phones, does the issue follow the phones or does now the other phone have trouble with the texting?
If when swapping the SIMs the problem follows the iphone, then there maybe some problem with the phone.
If when the SIMs are swapped and the problem does not follow the phone, then the problem is with either the SIM or the carrier settings.
Hope this helps

After upgrading to Maverick, I can no longer access iTunes Store.

Hi,
After upgrading to Maverick, I can no longer access to iTunes stores. The layout for Mac AppStore also doesn't display properly. Perhaps the most annoying part is when I need to access secure website (even google.com), where I need to authorize the certificate. My current connection is behind proxy, but have no issues on all this issues before upgrading to Maverick. Please assist.

Hello segordon21,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To move voice memos to your computer please follow the steps from the iOS 8 Help below.
Move recordings to your computer
You can sync voice memos with the iTunes library on your computer, then listen to them on your computer or sync them with another iPhone or iPod touch.
When you delete a synced voice memo from iTunes, it stays on the device where it was recorded, but is deleted from any other iPhone or iPod touch you synced. If you delete a synced voice memo on iPhone, it’s copied back to iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes, but you can’t sync that copy back to iTunes a second time.
Sync voice memos with iTunes. Connect iPhone to your computer, then in iTunes select iPhone. Select Music at the top of the screen (between Apps and Movies), select Sync Music, select “Include voice memos,” and click Apply.
Voice memos synced from iPhone to your computer appear in the Music list and in the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. Voice memos synced from your computer appear in the Voice Memos app on iPhone, but not in the Music app.
Move recordings to your computer
Take care,
Alex H.

With the Apple iMessage app, You can only Message with other iOS users - iPads, iPod Touch, iPhone users and Macs running Mountain Lion or higher. With your iPhone, you can send standard SMS text messages to any phone, including Android phones.
The iPad cannot send SMS messages or receive them either.

Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?

Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?
I can send imessages. I can sometimes send texts. But I cannot ever send picture texts. and I am not receiving texts.

Antny,
Yikes, this is no bueno let's get these messages back up and flowing. Are you able to send out regular text messages ok? Ensure your Picture Messages feature is turned on, follow these steps: Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging. Also ensure Send as SMS is turned on as well. If these features are turned on then try this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings then retest. Keep us posted please.
